What is it?
Converts energy and matter from outside sources.
What is Metabolism?
Organisms that eat only organisms other than plants
What are Carnivores?
1. All life forms contain DNA and reproduce.
2. All life forms have a method by which they extract energy from the surroundings and convert it into energy that sustains them (metabolism).
3. All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes.
4. All life forms are made of cells.
5. All living things grow.
6. All living things maintain a stable internal environment by regulating the chemical processes occurring in them (homeostasis).
What are the six criteria for life?
A suggested, testable answer to a well-defined scientific question or a testable explanation of observations.
What is a Hypothesis?
Single Celled Organism
What is Unicellular?
Uses energy to produce large chemicals for life.
What is Anabolism?
Organisms that eat both plants and other organisms.
What are Omnivores?
An organism is classified as a carnivore. Is it a heterotroph or an autotroph? Is it a producer, consumer, or decomposer?
It is a heterotroph and a consumer
What is an Endotherm?
In a compound microscope, this would be the magnifying power achieved using a 10x objective lens and a 10x eyepiece lens.
What is 100?
Breaks down chemicals to produce energy
What is Catabolism?
Organisms that eat only plants.
What are Herbivores?
This is considered the most basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
This is the maintenance of a stable internal condition.
What is Homeostasis?
A microscope that shines light through a specimen using two lenses to magnify an image.
What is a compound light microscope?
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their own food.
What is Photosynthesis?
Organisms that produce their own food.
What are Autotrophs?
A parent and offspring are studied. Although there are many similarities between the parent and the offspring, there are also some differences. This is the method in which these organisms reproduce.
What is sexual reproduction?
A logical interpretation based on prior knowledge, experience or evidence.
What is an Inference?
Special structures that allow living organisms to sense the conditions of their internal or external environment.
What are Receptors?
Organisms that depend on other organisms for their food.
What are Heterotrophs?
An abrupt and marked change in the DNA of an organism compared to that of its parents.
What is a mutation?
The variable manipulated by the experimenter (aka changed by the scientist).
What is the Independent (or manipulated) Variable?
This scientist finally proved that microorganisms cannot spontaneously generate.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
To gather data and test a hypothesis, scientists use what?
What is the Scientific Method?
An organism that feeds on dead organic material.
What are detritivores?
This type of observation looks at numbers such as counting or measuring.
What is Quantitative?
An explanation of the natural world that has been tested with a significant amount of data/evidence from multiple experiments/observations.
What is a Scientific Theory?
The idea that long ago, very simple life forms spontaneously appeared through chemical reactions.
What is Abiogenesis?
